Chapter 54: The Pheasant

This morning, Ye Bufan searched for prey in the forest as usual, he felt that his luck was really good, and when he passed through a few low trees, he heard the sound of some stomach pheasants coming from the dense vegetation in front of him.

The stomach pheasant is a monster beast with a body shape similar to the pigeon-shaped on the outer nine continents, with brown-gray hard feathers, looking like a harmless small animal from a distance.

But when you look closer, you will see that their heads are as hard as if they were wearing a rock helmet.

Their mouths are full of sharp teeth, perfect for nibbling on meat, but in fact, they are not that good at fighting, they have no merit in the Ethereal Island, except for their hard heads and feathers, these monsters are standard scavengers.

They like to seek out corpses that have not been eaten for food, and at some point, they will also actively attack small monsters that are lonely, especially when they are gathered in groups.

This is a kind of monster that likes to move in groups, but usually, they are independent of each other and do not become individual leaders, so their group structure is very loose.

They only gather in groups when they find food or when they are ready to attack a target.

Ye Bufan didn't like these guys, but this didn't affect his plans, these stomach pheasant demon beasts were the demon beasts he was looking for, and they had the "hard" runes he wanted.

Ye Bufan Ren locked the direction with his hearing, he shook the Nian Ghost Sword in his hand, and cautiously sneaked closer.

After a while, the distance was a little closer, and Ye Bufan gradually saw clearly, there were about four or five stomach pheasants, falling on the ground, tearing something.

Every now and then they make a few noises, or occasionally two of them have a conflict, or perhaps they open their mouths full of sharp teeth to threaten each other in order to compete for a more palatable spot in the food, and then one of them obediently steps aside.

Ye Bufan listened attentively to see that there were no more powerful demon beasts nearby, so as to avoid encountering a hunter in a situation where a hunter encounters a hunter, after all, the jungle is the most dangerous.

After a while, he didn't find any movement from other demon beasts, Ye Bufan rushed over with the Nian Ghost Sword, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that there was a corpse of a cow and a golden bull lying on the ground, which should be one of the three families he met the day before yesterday, and it seems that this is also the reason why the cow and golden bull he met was left alone.

And this cow and golden bull were obviously killed by a powerful demon beast, maybe because they couldn't finish eating, or for some other reason, in short, they left the leftovers here, and they didn't bring them back as food, obviously only the powerful demon beast did it, and it was very likely that it was the room fire pig that he met yesterday.

These stomach pheasants are some very sensitive to corpses, they can smell the subtle smell of the dead creatures from thousands of meters away, and then smell the wind, and this kind of predatory upper class of cattle and golden bull meat, because it is rare, or almost impossible to hunt, for them, it is a rare delicacy.

Ye Bufan's eyes lit up, the cow in front of him had obviously just died, and these stomach pheasants were trying to tear open its skin, so as to taste the deliciousness in it, and they didn't pay attention to themselves, only the greedy deliciousness that was concentrated.

Ye Bufan held the Nian Ghost Sword in his hand flat, rushed forward with an arrow step, aimed at one of the stomach pheasants, raised the sword and smashed it down fiercely.

"Boom!"

The Nian Ghost Sword smashed into the hard head of the stomach pheasant, and the head was damaged at all, but Ye Bufan had long known the hard characteristics of these demon beasts, so he used the Nian Ghost Sword as a heavy weapon.

The enemy is present, but in front of the food, the other stomach pheasants are obviously unwilling to give up this rare delicacy, and they do not plan to run away, they all flutter their wings and fly up and hover in the air, sending out a threatening hiss to Ye Bufan.

When they saw Ye Bufan continue to move forward, they thought that he was going to snatch his own food.

The other stomach pheasants were a little anxious, and one of the stomach pheasants hissed, flapping its wings in mid-air, and suddenly retracted, and its head was like an arrow, rushing down towards Ye Bufan, straight into his face.

Ye Bufan had already taken precautions, and when he heard the voice, he swung out the ghost sword in his hand like lightning, and the dantian of Qi Shen came out with all his strength, and with an accurate and ruthless blow, the beast-faced crow screamed, and fell to the ground like a meteor, and was immediately stunned.

Ye Bufan and Hua Aoxue learned Feiyan Bu together, but also learned a set of boxing techniques, focusing on the number of ways to open and close, and break the enemy with strength.

Ye Bufan didn't spend much energy practicing these things back then, relying on his innate body, but he also practiced it like he looked like it, and the traditional martial arts kung fu was originally founded for the battlefield battle, paying attention to the dantian force, and the bone and tenon.

When swinging the sword, Ye Bufan can burst out with huge power from his whole body in an instant, and with the blessing of the power rune, he can hit his head and stun him instantly, otherwise, with the stomach pheasant with hard characteristics, it is difficult to say whether he can easily take one down.

At this time, the left and right stomach pheasants also folded their wings, and the volley was like two sharp arrows, whistling down, drilling straight into the leaves, and attacking them in groups was their favorite means.

Ye Bufan moved when he heard the sound of the ghost sword in his hand, and he had already swung out a slap and slash, swept to the right, and with a shock, another stomach pheasant was stunned by him on the ground.

At this time, the beast-faced crow on the left had already flown to the front, and its sharp arrow-like head was about to drill head-on, obviously preparing to open a big hole in Ye Bufan's body.

Ye Bufan hurriedly dodged to the right side, and the Nian Ghost Sword in his hand swung out with a fierce sword, and swept across the body of the stomach pheasant, this time the force was particularly fierce, with a burst of breaking wind, it fell to the ground faster than before, and when the stomach pheasant fell to the ground, its head slammed on the ground, and it fainted and stopped moving.

Seeing that his companion was knocked out in an instant, the remaining stomach pheasant was finally timid, bluffing and screaming, but did not dare to step forward.

And among the three stomach pheasants who were stunned by Ye Bufan just now, only the second one, because Ye Bufan's strength was still a little insufficient after all, he didn't hit his head, he was only stunned for a while, and then he stood up again, retreated to the distance and kept roaring.

And the other two, obviously in a short period of time, don't think about waking up, Ye Bufan brandished the Nian Ghost Sword with a fierce look in his eyes and rushed towards them.

Seeing this, the remaining two stomach pheasants finally reluctantly retreated, leaving their companions behind and fleeing from here.

"It's a good harvest, but it's better to take advantage of the fact that they won't wake up for a while, hurry up and carry out the blood refining!" Ye Bufan said and was full of joy and prepared to refine the two stomach pheasants alive.

After all, this stomach pheasant is too hard, and generally speaking, no hunter can look down on this stomach pheasant as a demon beast as food, because the meat is small and hard, and it is not ideal food at all.

And with the sharpness of the Nian Ghost Sword now, it is not enough to break through the hard outer layer of the appetizing earth pheasant, but fortunately, there is a power rune on the Nian Ghost Sword, and the flying demon beast is the most susceptible to this way, so it can be stunned.

Therefore, in desperation, Ye Bufan could only carry out live refining, and the method of blood refining was transported, and it was obvious that the time for live refining was much longer than that for dead refining.

The two stomach pheasants were corroded by the blood flames, and they woke up screaming, and they were about to struggle to escape from the enveloping range of the blood flames.

Seeing this, Ye Bufan hurriedly took out the blood crystal and pinched it in his hand, and accelerated the blood refining oral decision, and suddenly the blood flame suddenly soared, entangled the stomach pheasant in it, and only struggled a few times, then stopped moving, and after a while, the blood flame dissipated, leaving only a blood crystal on the ground, and a skull with hard runes.

"What's the matter?, why do the two stomach pheasants only have a blood crystal and a rune bone?" Ye Bufan stepped forward, took the two things in his hand and looked at them carefully, and found that the power in the blood crystal was more refined, and the natural rune patterns on the rune bone were obviously more textured and clear, obviously a good rune bone.

"Could it be that I just increased the output of blood flames by myself and fused the power of the two stomach pheasants together, so there is only one blood crystal and one rune bone, according to common sense, the stronger the blood beast, the better the quality of the blood crystal refined, the stomach pheasant is obviously not a demon beast with strong blood, and it seems that it can only be this reason for refining this level of blood crystal, but what is the matter with the fusion of the rune bones?" Ye Bufan said to himself suspiciously.

Just when Ye Bufan was puzzled, suddenly Ye Bufan's face changed, he bent down and listened to the ground, stood up and put the two things into the bag, raised his eyes and looked around, and quickly ran to the side of a towering tree, and began to climb up the tree with his hands and feet.

The long grass not far away shook sharply, and it was obvious that some creatures were rushing in this direction like a wave, and after a while, a gray-green figure burst out of the long grass with a "swish".

This is a Kui wood wolf, I saw it look around vigilantly, and its blood-red eyes soon saw the carcass of the cow and the golden cow not far away, and it let out a roar in the long grass behind it, and quickly ran towards the carcass of the cow and the golden cow.

In the long grass behind it, two more Kui wood wolves soon came out, and the three wolves formed a triangle team, one in front of the other and two behind each other.

The Kui Timber Wolf found the two pheasants that were still probing their brains on the stone not far from the carcass of the cow and the golden bull.

Suddenly, the three stomach pheasants flew into the air at the same time and hovered, this Kui wood wolf opened its mouth and screamed a few times on the ground as if in fear, and turned its head to find Zhang Ye Bufan who was still climbing up on another tree.

Kui Timber Wolf trotted a few steps to the bottom of the tree, tilted his head sideways and looked up, suddenly, I saw it squatting slightly, jumping upward, Kui Timberwolf's jumping power is really amazing, this jump is nearly three meters high, Kui Timber Wolf's mouth is only about two feet away from Ye Bufan's right foot.

After climbing up for a while, Ye Bufan climbed onto an outstretched horizontal branch and sat down, looking down, the Kui Wood Wolf under the tree was also looking at him fiercely, his eyes suddenly flashed red, and the leaves around Ye Bufan's body flew towards him like a blade.

Ye Bufan brandished the Nian Ghost Sword to protect his body, but the power of these sword leaves was not as great as it seemed, obviously on the ethereal island without aura, even the talent spell of the Kui Wood Wolf was also affected, and the Kui Wood Wolf saw that he couldn't drive him down, so he stopped the spell and glared at Ye Bufan.

After the two sides looked at each other for a while, the two Kui wood wolves on the other side had already begun to tear the corpse of the cow and golden bull on the ground, and the sound of biting and chewing quickly made the Kui wood wolf under the tree give up Ye Bufan on the tree and run to compete with his own kind for the food in his mouth.

Ye Bufan sat on the tree and watched the three Kui wood wolves under the tree eat and chew, and pursed his lips stupidly, Ye Bufan was very aggrieved in his heart, and thought: "Wait for Lao Tzu to recover his strength, and see that the little master has refined you without blood!"
